Issaquah Community
Incorporated in 1892, Issaquah still offers the charm, setting and lifestyle of a small town. The City is committed to preserving its heritage and natural surroundings, while managing a careful plan for growth and business opportunity.

With a current population exceeding 30,000, Issaquah continues to plan for and support positive growth.

Issaquah is located at the intersection of Interstate 90 and State Route 900, which affords commuters easy access to neighboring communities.
